He said the counsel were present for the purpose of aiding the inquiry and that it could be presumed by them that the Senators would do Justice to nil parlies. Me said it was not his wish that any question be put to convey the impression to the minds of those present that because of his strong conviction of the inconsistency and delusion of religious faith of the witness that he questioned the right of the state of Utah to elect a member of that faith to a seat in the senate provided the man elected had not violated any law of the laud. Senator Dubois explained that he was not a lawyer and It was his puriswe to ask questions which s layman would be likely to understand and he wanted a broad view taken In the investigation. He then aaked the witness whether any revelations be had received had been sustained in the general conference through the uplifting The of the hands of those present. witness answered that he had received no revelation sustained in that manner and explained again that the individuals, by living a moral life in the sight of the Lord, could receive reveHe lations if they were prayerful. said the Lord would manifest his will for their guidance. Have yon received any individual revelations?" asked Senator Dubois. 1 can't say that I have, the witness replied. Gan you any you have not?" No. but if I lived as I should live I am capable of receiving Impressions from the Lord. Just as n good Methodist might, but I can't say that they are revelations." Shaking of the endowment, Mr. Smith said in reply to Mr. Taylor that the obligation is the same as It always has been, but that it is not an oath. We abjure oaths" Mr. Smith said that he waa absent from Utah during the prosecutions under the Edmunds act. that he was not. therefore, prosecuted. Was there a warrant out for you? aaked Senator Dubois. 1 can present it to you now, responded the witness, with some snap. "It was returned to me." Then you were not at home looking after your wives?" "I wss not neglecting them entirely. Replying to Mr. Hoar, Air. Smith said he considered that conditions in the state of Utah Justified him in the course he had pursued. On the other hand, he said, "we have agreed not to solemnize any more plural marriages and I don't believe. he added, bringing his clenched hand down on the table, "that that understanding has been violated." , Replying to Senator Dcpew, Mr. Smith said no new revelaiiona are incorporated In the book of Mormon, but in the Doctrine and Covenants. Renatifr Hoar asked some questions bringing out the status of children under the law of inheritance!. The children of plural wives get only whit Is willed to them or to their In my mothers, said the witnesa. own rase I have made deeda to my different families." He said in reply to Mr. Worthington that the book of Mormon Is not the Mormon Bible. Wbat Is the Mormon Bible?" "King James' translation of the Bible. We have no Bible except the Bible of other Christian people. Replying to questions relating to his former testimony concerning Apostle Teasdale's plural marriage since 1890. Mr. Smith said It was his understanding from Teasdnle himself that at the time of that marriage Teasdale was sealed for eternity to an elderly woman who had been his housekeeper. Mr. Teasdale understood, said the witness, that the woman was In no sense his legal wife when he married Mary Boole. His relation with her was Just as chaste as with his sister." Precisely so." the witness replied. He added that he had personally known of two other cases of "sealing for eternity" and that the church sealed both for time and eternity. At the executive session before recess was taken It was decided to allow a photograph to be taken of the committee room tomorrow, but with no witnesses present Andrew Jensen, assistant historian of the church, at ths afternoon session said he had two wives who were slaters snd they both lived in the same house, though he lived with the first. Mr. Jensen said ha was not sealed in eternity to the mother of the two wives. Lorin Harmer testified that be was a bishop for five or six years, but had been sent to the penitentiary In 1899 upon conviction of unchastity and lost his good standing. He said he had two wives. Elia and Ida, and had lived also' with Ellen Anderson, but never as her husband. He said she bad (wo children by him, one since he had returned from the penitentiary. He' now lives at Springville. He said Ellen Anderson supports herself snd that he had contributed nothing for herself or her children. He said she had property of her own. Mr. Harmer was asked if Senator Smoot had anything to do with his ar- rest "I think he caused it," he said. He was counsellor at that time to the president of the stake, who wss then away. He called me to Provo and told me fhe church proposed to take away my bishopric and other offices. I asked him to give me time to prepare my family and then I started home." "Why waa he going to take away your offices?" "Because 1 had committed a crime. "What crime?" "Adultery, to be frank. Why do you think Mr. Smoot caused your siTest?" Because before I reached home the sheriff overtook and put me under arrest. I blamed Smoot for sending the sheriff after me. I thought he might have given me more time, although thq rrime waa a bad one. I do not know that Smoot waa responsible for my arrest, but It looked murh like It." Hiram Smith, 33 years of age, a son of President Smith- and one of the twelve apostles, explained at length the manner of sending out missionaries and said polygamy was not talked and that polygamous cohabitation had never been talked at a conference at which Mr. Smoot was present.
